Giants stars Saquon Barkley, Tommy DeVito reveal gambling fans send requests if bets don't hit

Saquon Barkley and Tommy DeVito reveal they get asked by fans to give them money if they don't help him hit their gambling picks.

The 2024 Super Bowl will be played at Allegiant Stadium in Las Vegas, which may seem strange to older fans who remember betting on professional sports being a big no-no.

Times have changed in the NFL and other leagues that have embraced sports gambling since states became allowed to pass their own laws regulating sports betting. 

The NFL has embraced Las Vegas. Vegas is now home to an NFL team, and it has hosted both the NFL Draft and the Pro Bowl.

Players have started to see sports gambling in a different light as well. Instead of fans asking them to step up to hit fantasy football numbers, they want players to help them reach their parlays. Saquon Barkley and Tommy DeVito of the New York Giants told Fox News Digital they’ve gotten messages.

"I would say the view of sports gambling is definitely at a high level. Every week, I get a tweet about some parlay, some type of sports bet that I’m a part of," Barkley said. "There’s time where I help some people win some money, and there’s times where I get a DM or message saying, ‘Cash App me $200 right now.’ 

"I think it makes sense where football is and where sports gambling is headed, and last year they had the Pro Bowl out there. I was a part of that. It was a fun experience."
